Asymptotics for the Laplace transform of the time integral of the geometric Brownian motion

Dan Pirjol, Lingjiong Zhu

We present an asymptotic result for the Laplace transform of the time integral of the geometric Brownian motion with $X_T = \int_0^T e^{σW_s + ( a…

Convergence Rates of Stochastic Gradient Descent under Infinite Noise Variance

Hongjian Wang, Mert Gürbüzbalaban, Lingjiong Zhu +2

Recent studies have provided both empirical and theoretical evidence illustrating that heavy tails can emerge in stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in various scenarios. Such heavy…

Non-Convex Optimization via Non-Reversible Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics

Yuanhan Hu, Xiaoyu Wang, Xuefeng Gao +2

Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics (SGLD) is a powerful algorithm for optimizing a non-convex objective, where a controlled and properly scaled Gaussian noise is added to the st…

Fractional Underdamped Langevin Dynamics: Retargeting SGD with Momentum under Heavy-Tailed Gradient Noise

Umut Şimşekli, Lingjiong Zhu, Yee Whye Teh +1

Stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDm) is one of the most popular optimization algorithms in deep learning. While there is a rich theory of SGDm for convex problems, the…
